Free
(Bob Wilson)

Lookin' up towards the sky on a
Quiet afternoon
On my mind were thoughts of only you
Soft were the colors in the silent fade of day
Warm was the voice that carried me away
Ooh, I could hear Him sayin'
Ooh, won't you follow me

Taken up above the clouds not knowing
What I'd find
I began to hear the song of another
World and time
Listen to the melody my heart began
To pound
I saw the Morning Star with His children
Gathered 'round
Ooh, I could hear them singing
Ooh, No matter who you are, you can have
The Morning Star
Ooh, All heaven was ringing
Ooh, And a twinkling of an eye, I was taken
Higher bound

As time stood still, my heart could see
That day of days, when all mankind
Would be free
Free, no more hatred no mere lyin', free
Free, no more hunger no more dyin', free




Free, all the colors of the rainbow shinin', free
Free, with the Morning Star loving you and me
